Catheter, Continuous Flush（KRA）

Rotating adaptor O-ring manufacturing defect impacting seal integrity which may lead to a leak during infusion of medication.

The sterility of microcatheter and infusion system devices cannot be guaranteed.

Outer carton packaging of microcatheters were exposed to wet substance during transport.

This is a follow-up to the EKOS Field Safety Notice dated April 30, 2019. The Radio Frequency (RF) board has been redesigned to prevent occasional internal board failures at lower temperatures. All EKOS CU 4.0 consoles containing the old RF board design will be replaced with the newly designed CU 4.0 consoles.

A manufacturing error may cause the radiopaque marker bands to be too loose on certain CXC3.0 CrossCath Support Catheters (compatible with 0.014 wire guides) and too tight on certain CXC3.4 CrossCath Support Catheters (compatible with 0.018 wire guides).

Certain catheters could have a compromised catheter shaft due to a manufacturing defect which could result in some delamination of the catheter shaft including during introduction of the catheter into a vascular access introducer.

Devices using a specific hemostatic valve design, referred to as a blue valve or polyisoprene valve, have an increase in reports of blood loss associated with the devices which could result in delay in procedure and blood loss from patients.

Delamination and detachment of the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating material may lead to PTFE coating in the blood stream.

Sequent Medical is recalling the VIA 27 Microcatheter because it may not adequately re-sheath the interventional device into the catheter as designed.

The recalling firm identified ten devices which were distributed and could potentially be non-compliant. These devices potentially underwent a routine manufacturing test with non-compliant parameters, which may result in a small blister in the epoxy over transducers in the treatment zone. It is not known at the time the recall was initiated whether the non-compliant test parameters, or presence of the blisters, adversely affect operation of the device.

The EkoSonic kit, including the individually labeled MicroSonic Device (MSD) and Intelligent Drug Delivery Catheter (IDDC) are labeled with a 135 cm working length, and programmed with a 135 cm family code, however the MSD actual working length is 106 cm.

Cook Medical has received six product complaints associated with reports of the 2.6FR curved catheter being mixed with the 4.0FR straight catheter and vice versa. Investigation revealed the products were mixed during processing.

The Connector Interface Cable (CIC) was not recognized by the EkoSonic PT-3B control unit.

Medtronic is conducting a voluntary recall of all former Covidien Trellis 6 and Trellis 8 Peripheral Infusion Systems due to potential for a sterility breach of the outer packaging or pouch material. A breach of the outer pouch may compromise the outside surface sterility of the inner pouch and does not directly affect the sterility of the device components within the inner pouch.

A manufacturing error resulted in the risk of incorrect proximal and distal balloon inflation port identification on the units. Units have been identified to have the distal balloon inflation port incorrectly labeled as proximal, and, the proximal balloon port incorrectly labeled as distal.
